ITHACA, NY - Limited tickets are still available for a one-evening-only performance of Trajal Harrell Dance Style on October 2, 2008, at the Cornell Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts. The dance company will be performing "Quartet for the End of Time," a full-evening dance work choreographed by Harrell for four dancers that takes the story of Olivier Messiaen's famous music of the same name as a foundation for investigating the antagonism between sincerity and irony in our contemporary time.
A Cappella groups unite to help United Way of Tompkins County in a concert tonight at 8:00 p.m. in Statler Hall on the Cornell University Campus.
Ten of Cornell's top a cappella groups will join together in a benefit concert for United Way of Tompkins County. The second annual "A Cappella United" will feature Cayuga's Waiters, Last Call, Nothing But Treble, Hearsay, Touchtones, Hangovers, Chordials, Class Notes, After 8, and the Callbaxx. Additionally, they will be joined by musical theater troupe Anything Goes.
AGENDA: Even skilled
speakers and writers enjoy attending workshops, or symposia, at Warriner
House, here at the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired, where they learn
to be Terribly Correct.
One agendum might be the point that one does not loan, one lends. A loan is what one lends.
Other agenda are often words like today's
subject. In Latin class, one quickly
learns that symposium is singular, and symposia is plural. This also works with datum and data,
medium and media, and curriculum and curricula. Therefore, one does not say the data is but the data are.
Criterion and criteria are Greek but not too
different to include here. One would
say that the criterion for fatherhood is obvious, but the criteria for dads are many and daunting.
